The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Dr. Bailey handed some mints to Aisha.

"Hey, Stern, Aimee and Dr. Landon are coming!" Zachary said, pointing to the three approaching figures.

"So where shall we start?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

"We could try local police," Zachary replied.

Dr. Zanasiu frowned. "That's not going to work. Only Cobalt Leader, Cpl. Stern and the two Cobalt soldiers have any authority to work with the police," he replied.

Aimee entered the restaraunt and walked over to the others, yet, just kept quiet at the moment as she still had a few things buzzing around in her mind.

---

Shakila on the other hand, spoke up once more "If you guys need me, I'll be in my room" she told the group as she grabbed her laptop and brown paper bag and walked out, heading back to her room.

Once in her room, she placed the laptop down onto a nearby couch and pushed the table away, turning it over to have more room on the floor before placing her laptop onto the ground.
She then walked over and closed the curtains in the room as well "Much better" she spoke to herself with a small purr as she minimized the window and went to work on something else on her laptop.

The Sedan drove into town, the occupants were looking down every corner of the street they're on until they reached the vicinity of Neptune's Bounty...

----------

Deathwind's attack missed the two soldiers and continued into the control room, shredding apart large pipelines like paper.

Mallard gave a worried look at Eron.  "Now how are we to get past that thing now?"

Eron kept cool.  "Well, we don't go running directly at it, that's for sure," he replied...

----------

Pinned down by the gunfire, Snow can't risk exposing herself to hurl fire at the enemy squad.  Just then, her ears picked up on something familiar, and huddled behind Vic & Tank.

"Captain!" Ice called out.  "Something's up with Snow!"

Vic turned to Snow, and knew that kind of face she's had before.  "Is it a Dragonstorm?"

"It's...from before," she replied.

"Straight from Pelvanida..." he thought aloud.  "Damn..."

----------

Deathwind thundered down the hall towards the turnoff Rho Squad is placed in firing at Crimson Squad...

"Where to now?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

"Dunno," Zachary replied. He then turned to Aimee. "Aimee, where do you recommend we go?"

Cpl. Stern noticed a sedan pulling into the parking lot of Neptune's Bounty.

"Ivers, Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters was supposed to be guarding our supplies, right?" he asked.

Zachary nodded. "They are but I don't think they'd shirk their duties," he replied.

"Guys, I think we're getting a little too paranoid here. It could just be someone who happens to have the same car as Neville," Alfred replied.

"Well, I did get all the information I needed to get for the time being anyway.....it wasn't much on my end anyway, just stuff about the Dragonstorm and other things about a Lab 101 is all" Aimee replied back, glancing around at others within the restaraunt, her eyes stopping upon one parton in particular, but yet, she shook her head "But as for where to go, I'm not sure myself really, I've done all I need to do"

The one whom Aimee was looking at before, kept an eye on Aimee, glancing to the waiter whom approached her, to which she put up a hand to quieten him befoe looking to the waiter "See that vixen over there? Give her this for me, but don't say who it's from" she told him quietly, handing him a note.

The waiter nodded back and walked over to Aimee "I have a note for you" he spoke, handing the note over to her before going back to his duties.

Aimee looked to the note before quickly looking around, then looking back to the note once more "Who....come alone?" she started, looking to Stern in particular, showing him the note which the contents of the note contained the following: "If you wish to know more about your past, meet me in town, but come alone, I'll find you, so do not worry about that one"

However, the note had no indication on whom it was from either, to which Aimee seemed to be considering doing what the note had said, to head into town....alone.

Cpl. Stern shook his head. "I strongly urge you not to take the advice of that note; I suspect that it's bait to try and recapture you," he said.

Dr. Bailey had entered the restraunt to use the bathroom. He exited the bathroom to see Cpl. Stern, Aimee and Dr. Landon at a table.

"So what did I miss?" Dr. Bailey asked.

"Aimee got an anonymous note telling her to come to town alone," Cpl. Stern replied.

Dr. Bailey thought a moment. "You know, I'm suggesting we actually follow this note,"

"With all due respect Doctor, your plan puts Aimee at great risk and I will not allow it," Cpl. Stern replied. He did his best to keep anger from seeping into his voice.

"No, that is not what I meant. We can use this plan and then we will ambush and capture the 'person' who Aimee wants to meet,"

"One problem, we could end up walking right into an ambush."

Aimee seemed to just keep quiet, having a look around the restaraunt once more before looking back to the note until she spoke "Well, I do want to know about my past for starters, and if this person knows about my past, then perhaps I could give them a chance" she gave off a light shrug, not really sure on it all at the moment.

The mysertious stranger whom continued to keep an eye on the events unfolding before her, just smirked to herself, especially upon hearing Dr. Bailey's little plan as she took a bite out of her potato on her plate.

The waiter came back to her table "Are you finished with your meal?" he asked her.

She shook her head, still watching the group "No, not yet" she replied back, taking another bit of the potato on her plate.

Aimee continued to think some more, leaning back in the table, looking to her arms, then back to Stern once again "Can you....trust me on this one?"

Cpl. Stern shook his head. "Aimee, something seems very wrong about this situation. I honestly could never forgive myself if something happened to you," he said. He was eating the fish sandwich that Alfred bought for him.

Aimee seemed to think for a second again, especially with what Stern had told her, not too sure on what to do at the moment, as she did want to follow the orders on the note, but yet, she also didn't want Stern to worry about her either, looking to the food that was saved for her, but seemed to ignore it as she let off a sigh "I don't really know what to do then.....cause I do want to find out about my past, but then, I don't want you have to worry about me either, cause I don't think you're going to let this go by the sounds of it"

The driver of the Sedan, a strangely familiar black woman, stepped out of the car.  One of occupants, a Maned Wolf, also got out of the car and walked past the group into the restaurant.  The woman approached Dr. Zanasiu and removed her sunglasses.  It was Professor Josephine 'Dr Joe' Smithson.  "Long time no see, Dr Zanasiu."

----------

Deathwind turned the corner and discovered the Rho Squad in his way...

Cobalt Leader and his two soldiers kept their sidearms ready.

Dr. Zanasiu looked at the black woman with skepticism. "You must be Dr. Joe," he said.

"James, be careful. I don't think Dr. Joe is a black woman," Zachary said.

Alfred said nothing but kept his eyes peeled.

----------------------

Cpl. Stern finished his fish sandwich. "So are we all ready to leave?" he asked.

Dr. Bailey was waiting for Aimee to finish eating.

----------------------

Rho Squad nodded at Deathwind.

"Yeah, I'm ready to go" Aimee replied as she wasn't going to bother eating at the moment, she seemed to be put off eating for the time being as she put the note into her pocket as she stood up.

Dr. Bailey and Cpl. Stern paid for their meals and left the restruant.

There, they spotted Dr. Zanasiu and an unknown black woman. Dr. Zanasiu and the woman appeared to be in a standoff of sorts.

"James, do you know this woman?" Dr. Bailey asked.

"She knows me and she looks like Dr. Joe except for the skin color," Dr. Zanasiu replied.

"James, be careful; we don't know if this is really Dr. Joe," Cpl. Stern said.

The Cobalt soldiers, PFC Reynolds and Cobalt Leader kept their hands near their sidearms.

As Aimee stood up, looking to the meal before shaking her head, leaving it there, having not touched it at all as she begun to walk towards the rest of the group, the mysterious woman whom was watching, also stood up and approached Aimee, noticing that she was alone for a few seconds at the very least, but to her, that was enough time to pass on another message.

"I know what happened to you" she told Aimee the moment she stopped right next to the vixen, which in turn, caused Aimee to stop.  She was about to turn to face the woman, to which she spoke again "No, don't turn your head, I told you I would meet you, and I always keep my promise....they say that it's a trap, but as you can tell, it's only me here"

"Who....are you?" Aimee decided to ask, not turning her head, looking to everyone else who was outside.

"My name is of no importance at the moment, you'll know it all in due time, but I have a feeling you already know who I am" the woman told the vixen back as she too looked at Aimee's group outside.

"What do you know about my past?" Aimee asked next with a small sigh as well.

"I know that you've been through a lot, I know what Kain did to you" the woman begun as Aimee interupted.

"Kain? How....who...how do you know who he is?"

However, the woman ignore Aimee's question "I know that you were forced into the Trinity Facility against your will"

"How do you know all of this stuff?" Aimee asked, finally turning to the woman.

The woman in turn, looked to Aimee as she reached into her coat and pulled out a small book and handed it to Aimee "This should answer a few things...." she let off a rather slight smirk as well as she turned and started to make her way towards the kitchen "Kain wants you to know a few things"

"Kain?" Aimee asked, looking to the book, then to the group outside "She's with Kain....she has to be...." she shook her head, shoving the small book into her pocket and turned to take off after the mystrious human woman.

The woman in question, walked into the kitchen and started to make her way through it, heading for the back exit as Aimee rushed in and started to run after her "You know something you're not telling me! Where is Kain!?" she called out, pushing cooks and others aisde to try and catch up with her.

"Aimee's taking a long time to eat," Dr. Bailey said.

"I'll go check on her," Alfred replied.

He then entered the restraunt. A few minutes later, he left the restraunt. "She's gone!" he said.

"What!?" Zachary exclaimed.

Dr. Zanasiu facepalmed. "Aisha, Al, Dr. Landon search for Aimee!" he said sharply.

Alfred stood by Dr. Landon and Aisha. "We've got to hurry! She could be in danger!" he said.

(OOC - Do you mean the woman who is with "Dr. Joe" or the woman Aimee is chasing? The woman that Aimee is chasing is Human.)

Cpl. Stern weighed his choices. Keep an eye on "Dr. Joe" or go after Aimee.

He figured that there were enough people to handle two suspects so he quickly dashed into the restruant.

--------------------------

Alfred shook his head. "I dunno. All Dr. Bailey said was that she was gone after he went inside to check for her," he replied. "I do hope you're armed. All I've got is enough strength to tip a car with almost no effort."

Soon, the group arrived at the back of the restruaunt, which was ironically not the back at all as the back was a open air patio facing the ocean.

The smell of cooking seafood permeated the air.

Cpl. Stern was searching around the loading dock for Aimee. Some of the staff yelled at him but as soon as they saw his military ID, they relented.

"I'll go inside the kitchen," Alfred said.

He then climbed up the ramp to the kitchen and entered through the unlocked door. He was inside the section where they kept all their fresh produce and frozen goods. He started looking around for Aimee and the mysterious woman.
